Nominees for the 40th annual NAACP Image Awards were announced yesterday. They offer an “Outstanding Gospel Artist (Traditional or Contemporary)” award… and the nominees are:
Hezekiah Walker | Marvin Sapp | Mary Mary | Regina Belle | Take 6
Taking nothing from the other nominees, my money is on Marvin Sapp cuz I think the industry and the fans love him A LOT right now. And rightfully so.
The show, hosted by Halle Berry and Tyler Perry (cute… rhyming…) airs live on Thursday, February 12th on FOX at 8pm ET/PT (to my wife: I’m prolly gonna forget, so can you help me remember to set the DVR?).
FIRST, doggone it! Ummm, "is it just me," or should we sing that Sesame Street song that highlights the fact that one of these is not like the others? Regina Belle is amazing and all, but is she a gospel artist... I mean a bona fide gospel artist? I guess this goes back to a previous post about secular-turned-gospel artists.
